Although yes the current bonus is nowhere nearly as good as the Amarr or Minmatar bonus I would prefer that it stay as it's what makes the Burst AR, Tac AR, and Ion Pistol really worth using.
Seriously Gallente guys, put one level into ion pistol and give it a whirl, it's still hilariously bad, but with the bonus it's slightly less hilariously bad. But only put 1-2 levels in it, if you level up the operation too much you start to overheat a lot more often as even quick repeated shots will fill up the overheat bar as each shot charges a little bit more. My main has operation level one and that's it and he never overheats the thing. But I jump on my alt with level four and the same gameplay style makes the damned thing overheat with a quarter of the mag still left constantly, and overheating with this thing before taking out the enemy is almost always a death sentence.
What I would like to see happen personally is reduce the 5% per level to 3-4% for dispersion and then add a 1% ROF bonus so you would get a 15-20% bonus for dispersion and then an extra 5% to DPS, (which now stands as less than one complex damage mods worth of extra umph after the mod buff.)
Should the dispersion bonus be reduced or even nixed completely, the ion pistol -needs- to have the difference removed from the suit added to the gun itself, seriously guys, it needs the help.

And typically it doesn't take an entire magazine to kill someone, so the point that it doesn't increase damage per magazine isn't really relevant.
Im reluctant to give it a range bonus, but I think that may be the better option over what we currently have, or a RoF bonus.
Lorewise yea they are supposed to be the kings of DPS, but in the game pretty much all of the automatic weapons have nearly identical DPS stats, especially when you account for accuracy which puts the GAR on the lower end of the spectrum honestly just barely above the Assault RR. And then on top of that every other weapon has 14-37% more range.
I'd say it's not too much of a stretch to offer a 5% raise in DPS for 2.4 million SP and help it towards the direction of actually being a DPS king.

I guess it's just a matter of preference at that point. Id find range more useful than additional DPS, but to each his own.
But if I wanted range, I'd pick up literally any other assault gun as they all have better range. Even with the 5% buff to range, it still wouldn't match the ACR which also gets a natural bonus of 5% damage due to its damage profile on top of its better range, accuracy, and with the Minmatar bonus, a better mag size as well.
